How does telemental health work?

- Despite the virtual format, many patients find telemental health visits comfortable and adapt quickly to the video setup. The quality of video and sound is excellent, making it feel as though you're having a face-to-face conversation.
- This ensures that your sessions are both effective and efficient, focusing entirely on your care without the stress of travel and waiting rooms.
